The Noble Red Man,

You can trust an Indian as far as you
can see him the further you see him
the better you a trust him.
You have seen my escapes under va
rious noms de plume in the border
stories. My principal business has
been escaping. Many a time / have
left scores of bloody red skins on the
plains-with q fast horse.
The Indian does not, want much.
His grandfathers once owned this coun'
try, and all he wants is the United
States. He feels that he has been i'm,
posed upon by real estate agents toe
much.
One of the peculiarities of the Indian
race is their method of dealing with
their neighbors. Instead Of throwing
tin cam and dead cats over into thel
yards, they go and wipe them out, and
that seems to end all further contro.
versy-on the part of the neighbors, al
least.
Owing to the scarcity of the buffalo
it is no more than natural that the In
dian should sport with the cattle on the
borders. He must have some fun OF
he can't laugh. The Indian has rights
which o white man is bound to respect
Now, there is Geronimo-an ill-treated
man, if ever there was one--I dom
think that he ever killed more than 81
or 800 whites in his life, and here the,

a Eornotfen Patent.

A Pennsylvania manufacturer tells a
story of the inventor of a multiple e
rolls on trucks used under the bottom of
railroad cars between the truck frame
and the body of the car. The inventor
became pressed for funds and desired a
loan of 800, assigning his patent as
security. Out Of sympathy the manu-
facturer gave him the money, never az
pecting, as he says to ever get q dina
of IL back, and threw the patent papers
aside in his safe, where they laid IN
disturbed for ten years. One day q law
yer Of his acquaintance called at his Office
and inquired if he ever bought 9 patent
on friction rolls fer q railroad car.
After rfscting q moment he told him
that about ten years before he had loaned
an inventor some money on 4 car patent,
but he didn't ever expect to hear from
ii again. Tho lawyer told him that this
patent was being used on almost every
car now being built, and q large revenue
could be collected. Terms were soon
negotiated for collecting evidence Of in
frinaemcnt, SO that the looming 81
800 to help out the distressed IN
yentor brought him more inonsy than all

Jo.h Billinrs,s First Lecture,

The late Josh Billings told me once
that his first experience on the lecture
platform was the making of him. g had
been writing d good deal,n he said, stand
the stuff was pretty well received. At
least / thought it was. | got it printed
and a good deal Of it was paid for. / i'm
agined I was a little the biggest man in
New York, and certainly the best-known
man outside the city except Greeley. |
had made a scrap-book of my writings
and concluded / would give readings from
these. | made an engagement to give
such a reading at a small town in New
Jersey. / carried my book with me and
put up at the one hotel in great style.
The landlord did not seem remarkably
oyerawed by my presence, which was
somewhat d%ampening. | gave hin q half
dozen tickets for the lecture. When |
came on the platform there were but
seven persons in the hall, six of them be-
ing from the hotel, and the seventh a
small boy who ann in free. When got
back to the hotel / called the landlord
into nv room and had him bring me all
the old newspapers he could find and a
ball of cord. / took out my book,
wrapped a dozen or so of newspapers
around it, and then began winding the
cord. / wound that entire ball about the
bundle and tied the ends in double knot.
1.-THE landlord had watched the pro-
ceedings intently, and when | had fin
ished my wrapping he inquired what the
proceedings meant. | told him | was
going back to New York to go to work,
and [ did not propose to unite that book
until / could do so in his town and before
an audience that would fill the house. l
went back to the city," continued Mr..
Shaw, "and struck out OF a new lead.
Two years after | received an invitation
to lecture in this same town. l had been
waiting for this. | took out my old book
and took it along to see how thingslooked.
When 1 came on the platform found an
audience so tightly packed that the last
man had to leave his cane in the vestibule
for lack of ROOM. / took out my book
and unwrapped it before them, telling
the story as | did SO. 1t was this shut

Pecusiar Marine Parasites,

A letter from Brazil to tn Baltimore
Sun contains the following: "We
caught q number of sharks, and with
them some of their peculiar parasites,
remoI@, small fish resembling catfish,
which, by a sucker on top of their heads,
attach themselves to the sharks under
their fins so firmly it is difficult to pull
them off. In some places a larger remora
is used for catching turtles. The fisher
men carry them out in boats with q line
made fast to a ring neatly fitted around
the tail. When they approach q turtle
they throw the remora toward it, which
quickly swims to 1t an attaches itself to
it 20 firmly the turtle is drawn to the
boat by it. One evening we seemed to
run into a sea of fire. Ga all sides the
surface of the water was i.lumined with
a greenish blue phosphorescent light.
Buckets were thrown over the side to,
ascertain the cause, and when drawn ull
were found TO contain a number of OBJ
jects resembling corncobs in size, forfoH
AMI roughness of exterior, but ct a har~sl
transparent, gelatinous substance. Pyro-
solr@ is the technical name for them,
though very appropriately, as / thought,
our men called them sea pickles. An

the whole length corresponds with the
pith of a corncob. Altlaus III SO solid,

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

At The depth OF one fathom sea water
hos a pressure of 3431 ia pounds to the
square foot. A mile below the surface
the pressure is mora than a ton to the
square inch.
A scientific novelty is a lens which
~magniies, yet is perfectly fat on 10th
sides. It is made at Jena by the manu-
faeturers Of Prof. Abbe's new optical
glass. The lens consists of a single disc
whose density varies so that its r~efract-
i've power decreases regularly from the
surface inward.
Anew application OF astronomical pho
Biography is to the determination Of the
parallax Of stars. II the new method is
as successful as it promises to be, we
may expect to know more precisely than
we now do the distance of some Of the
principal stars, and SO get a moro accur-
ate knowledge Of the dimensions of the
universe.
Tho recent embargo on eoai has slim
ulated the use of crude oil or petroleum
as q substitut, for coal, with some man
u~facturers. The liquid is conducted
from the tanks to the furnaces in pipes,
to burn under the boilers in the shape OF
spray. II can be turned off at a mo-
| ment's notice. There is said to be a
saving Of 20 per cent.
The telegraph line built by the French
in Tonquin having recently failed to
work, it was found upon investigation,
that the chief of one of the native villa
ges had appropriated q quantity Of the
wire for his own use, and replaced it
with q cord of vegetable fibre. He was
very much surprised when informed of
the damage he had done, and had no
idea but that he had made a fair ex-
change and no robbery.
The walls of a siek-room should be
finished in plain, subdued color, instead
of papered in fancy patterns, as patients
are liable to be rendered irritable and
sleepless by prolonged mental perturba-
ton induced by vain efforts to trace
problems or in counting combinations.
A case of temporary insanity is reported
as occasioned by q MORBID disposition
to solve the possible combinations into
squares of certain figures on the wall

ings implied, 8 which ceased at once
